Alder Employee Reviews about "schedule"

Pros

Flexible Schedule Weekly Pay Residual Day One Ability to sell to non qualifying credit accounts and renters

Cons

Not enough leads daily Hard to progress in skills. Outbound to Inbound NO BENEFITS

Pros

Flexible Schedule and that's it.

Cons

Management is young and come up with their own way of doing things that are contrary to the way they train. Keep in mind there is no real training program. Due to the management being young and inexperienced you have immature people who don't know how to manage and have attitudes and don't help or try to make things better. Having worked in the alarm industry for many years this is by far the worst office I have seen. The interview process was a joke but hey I got a job. I am just disappointed in the way they do business. They do not hold people to their contracts the way they say they will. I am just annoyed with companies who hire bros and "pretty" girls to do things when they need older competent people in charge who get life, business, and how to treat workers. Then those people can teach the young guns how to do things professionally and correctly.

Pros

Pretty much have complete freedom to do what you want, as long as the job is getting done. I work out of my home 1000 miles away from corporate, so I don’t hear from management too much maybe once a week or so. The company has kept their word on everything they promised me when I started, nothing more, nothing less. The pay is decent for the easy work that is performed. I like it here overall. They say they will work around your schedule.

Cons

First there aren’t any benefits at ALL! They don’t even help you set an IRA. The company can be very un-organized at times, and make a lot of last minute decisions. It can seem like the “Wild West” sometimes, in a sense of you just have to make your decisions a lot, and hope management is okay with it at the end of the day, because you can’t get a hold of anyone. The company is going to through growing pains right now, so the people who are in lower management are constantly changing roles and job duties. Inventory is a problem here, they will send you plenty of what you don’t need for jobs and not near enough of what you do need, leaving you in a bad situation sometimes. Don’t really count on having any sort of life Monday-Friday, the end of the work week is more of a blessing than you know. They hire a lot of part time installers that are terrible at their jobs, and they don’t seem to really care. It may sound dumb, but I wish they had performance reviews.

Pros

The collections department itself is outstanding compared to the other departments. They have a base plus commission, if you excel in negotiations and customer service you can make a substantial amount of money on a flexible schedule.

Cons

The upper management that runs the whole company is clueless and have to deal with them.

Pretty easy job with commission opportunities. Somewhat flexible scheduling.

Cons

No PTO to start. You have to work Saturdays most of the time. No benefits for full time employees.

Pros

Flexible with scheduling I guess. They were accommodating with school schedules which makes sense bc most employees are in college.

Cons

Scammy operations. I felt bad taking advantage of the customers. Honestly they shouldn’t be in business.

Pros

Very flexible schedules and chill environment

Cons

Very low retention rate for our department

Pros

Management was upfront and super cool Decent culture Flexible schedule

Cons

Product is mediocre No benefits or insurance Compensation isn't the best

Pros

Very flexible schedule and free lunch every Friday, as well as lots of free Alder gear (they are all about marketing their brand). They also try really hard to make working in the call center a fun and goal providing experience.

Cons

Management treats people in the call center or operations as kind of second class. Like most security and alarm companies, the focus is on the sales people, and everyone else is just kind of along for the ride. Plus, some of the sales reps do some rather shady things. If they focused on making their sales force more ethical and focused on the customer rather than just the sale.
